Case Study: Nokia achieves rapid global sales hiring success with Emerald Technology

How we supported their acquisition through two projects, resulting in over 75 placements

Emerald Technology partnered with Nokia, a global telecommunications leader, to address its urgent need to hire a large volume of sales professionals across the EMEA region quickly and to support its post-acquisition talent strategy.

Emerald was chosen as a retained supplier for a strategic talent initiative, initially securing 36 hires and then an additional 35. In under 18 months, Emerald Technology successfully placed over 75 professionals into the team, demonstrating efficiency by requiring an average of just seven submitted candidates per hire. This success led to further collaboration on a new project to refresh Nokia's global sales talent with 60 new hires.
